A Lovely Home

A lovely, meticulously maintained home in a picturesque setting overlooking Fort Pond. Laura made sure we had everything we needed for our quick getaway and even provided a wonderful packet of information for us including her favorite beaches, restaurants, eateries and local shopping boutiques. We watched beautiful sunsets during dinner at the house and shooting stars over the pond late at night. We will be thrilled to rent this gem again.

Perfect getaway

We had an amazing stay at Laura’s cottage. She has clearly put a lot of detail into the interior and exterior - making it a perfect getaway for my husband and I and our dog. It’s walkable to a lot of popular Montauk spots and the beach. The views are beautiful especially at sunset. We hope to go back one day!

About the host

Hosted by Laura

Host profile image
I am and Interior Decorator and live in Montauk. I love creating environments for people to enjoy. I am also an avid photographer, swimmer, and enjoy paddle boarding. I collect vintage furniture and objects.

Why they chose this property

This property has lots of privacy as there are no homes on either side. There is a two-acre preserve on the north side. The 5-star reviews state it all.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is within walking distance of downtown, the Hampton Jitney, and the LIRR. The best beaches are a short walk/bike ride or a short drive, including the famous Ditch plains surfing beach, which is just 1 mile away. Everyone who walks into this cottage falls in love with it. It's exceptional.
